Very funny, I actually just came onto the blog to look up some Franco! I’ve been on a huge kick lately, thank you for providing the jams!

What a lovely start to the year! Thank you very much and please keep up the good work – it is much appreciated (at least in our household). Best wishes for 2010from cold and snowy Prague, Veronika

Please take care off it…
After the downloading I have only the covers and not the songs…
Thank you very much.

Sorry again…but it still the same…it’s not working,no songs.

Dear Moos,

Happy New Year and keep your good music comin’. The best weblog with the best records, ever!!! BTW, This Franco-records is one of my all time favorites, but is it not a double-album? The second record has the wonderful ‘laissez-passer’ and three other gems.

But maybe, those songs were on another record of Franco too!

Thanks anyway.

Sorry Kostas, I think the filename was way too long. I’ve changed that and re-upped it. Checked and approved, should really work now.

I am sorry guys but this is really just one LP and it was released in 1984. Maybe it was a re-release, I don’t know. I have seen the doubble issue too on one of the other blogs. Anyone to explain this ?

Confusing. The front is clearly (and possibly suspiciously) labeled as “POP 018”, which I thought was the catalog # for “se dechainent”. Could this possibly be an unofficial (aka pirate) edition?

According to the discography in Graeme Ewens’ “Congo Colossus” this was a double LP (CHOC 002/3). Track list as follows:
Side 1: Missile / Chacun Pour Soi
Side 2: Partagez
Side 3: Adieu Je M’En Vas / Tu Es Mechante
Side 4: Laissez Passer / Ngai Te

Just to add another layer of confusion Moos you wrote “I have seen the double issue too on one of the other blogs”. I think I saw the same one & when I play it it has the track you label as Missiles labelled as Partage & your Partage is labelled Missiles on that blogs copy. Anyone out there know whether the tracks on Moos’s LP have the correct labelling? Yours is certainly the best sound quality & as usual a very big thanks for sharing.

Hi again Moos,

After my last comment about track labelling I tracked down the post for the double LP.
http://snapcrackleandpops.blogspot.com/2008/11/franco-et-josky-kiambukuta-du-tpok-jazz.html

In the comments to that post someone notes that tracks 2 & 3 are mixed up but I realise that infact your posted LP differs from his in more than that.

Your trk. 1, Missiles was labelled as trk. 2, Chacun Pour Soi by the blogger who posted the double
Your trk 3. Partage was labelled as trk. 1 Missiles
Your trk. 2 Chacun Pour Soi was labelled as trk 3 Partage.

If he messed his up I guess yours must be the correct track naming unless anyone out there knows different.

Thanks J,
I can see you’ve put a lot of time in your research. The double you found at Snap, Crackle was the same I found and they messed up for sure, glad you agree with me..
